Bokeh heaven with an 85mm 1.2

A good friend loaned me her 85mm 1.2 lens recently, so in between editing wedding photos, I ran out to the garden to have some fun with it. I didn't have time for anything too grand, but even just shooting flowers has sent me to bokeh heaven, for sure! So here's a smattering of what I found...

Hydrangeas are some of my favorite flowers.  I just love them.  I dream of huge bushes with enormous masses of huge flowers...but I guess I'll have to wait for that till I move to the coast someday...they only grow like that in very temperate areas.

Just look at the beautiful creamy background!

This funny little flower is commonly known as "Pincushion Flower".

I just love what the lens is doing to this big mop of lobelia flowers.  :)  It makes me smile.

That's all for now.  Hope you enjoyed the "pretty things".  :)
